Trailer of an interesting research by Alexander Negrelli, about German graphic designer Otl Aicher.
It’s not only a book about the visual identity of the Olympic Games in 1972. It’s a complex project that shows the connections between terrorists and design, gold medals, movies, sneakers, politics, maps, architecture and logos.
The results of the research at JanVanEyck-academy in Maastricht will be published in 2012.
Looking forward!

NAM is a Tokyo-based graphic/art collective, formed in May 2006. NAM works is always special and i definitly love the atmospheres of their pictures. That’s when graphic design becomes “visualization” of ideas. Space composition.
